You were the love of my life,
now a memory of strife.
i'm lonely, and cold,
didn't pick me, over gold.
you're selfish and shallow,
thought our love was hallow.
but i misunderstood,
you're neither lovely, nor good.

Live
a kind heart is what i chose to keep
though i have felt as if drowning deep
a warm smile is what i wear
so that the burden, you need not bare
i will give you help when you need
tend the wound and staunch the bleed
protect you in all your strife
Poem, Poetry
Wow. This is my first time making a submission here at YS. I've only ever peeked around, reading up on everyone else's works, and I'm kind of nervous about introducing my musings. I need to let everyone know right off the bat that I've never written...
Dragon, Fantasy
With every change in my life
comes the terror of maybe losing you
of maybe being caught in strife
over such insecurities as few
have escaped unscathed.
Experimental, Poetry
This is where i am, for now, though society i must bow
to a life of insufferable strife
i'm left to wonder, "how?"
not only this, but "why?
am i only to live and die?"

Coming out
_i'm bisexual_
_i've faced many a strife in my life_
_the relationship wasn't sexual_
_it was musical_
_my dad treated me like shit_
_and i left because of it_
_now i sit playing guitar_
_wondering if i'll go far_
_i been insulted, i've
Bisexual, Poem
In there i shall never fall
never know any strife.
i would give him a simple task
to show me them now and then.
yet every time i would ask,
i would be lost in them again.

When the world returns, to menial life,
please forgive my sins,
for within my chest, strife,
but still i sing your hymns.
Otter, Poetry, Sad
When you can only crawl
please don't worry these tears are not of sorrow
your heart is not something i just want to borrow
you make me so happy and bring much needed color to my life
i am more than happy to hold your hand and break through this strife
Poem, Poetry
Pity those given into this notion,
that life is without pain or without strife.
there will be red tape and signs of caution!
so i'll trudge through what they call this my life.
First Person, Other, Philosophy, Poetry
Bitter are the unrelenting toils of life
this ache inside is like an unending strife
this darkness inside me is growing too deep
it sometimes awakens me from my sleep
the anger i feel, i too often can't control
just sends me further, down this never-ending
Anger, Dark, Demon, Drinking, Poem, Poetry, Sad
Neither nippon-born,
nor do i share the wild scorn
for passions erected of ancient days
portrayed upon a sun-bleached skein,
inked in ebony, sold to the masses,
left in dust upon my desk
while i contemplate a better life,
while nippon gripes in its own strife
Japan, Poetry
